I notice you found your way over to c.l.j.help. That is a group
better suited to your questions.

But since I have your attention, please locate your Shift Key*
and type capital letters for the beginning of sentences, the word
'I' and proper names like 'Tamer' and 'Java'. You are likely to
get better responses if you take effort to make your posts easy to read.

it has become very common on the internet not to use capital letters.
the fact is that it is faster to type and offers no loss in
readability. i had no trouble reading the posting and i've never been
critcized for my lack of caseness in my writings. surely, to complain
about lack of case in emails or postings is akin to insisting on
proper grammer and spelling in an instant message.

Prove it..
...that it is faster to type and offers no loss in
readability. ...

...by demonstrating this incisive comprehension in the answers
you provide to the next nnn posts where the poster neglects
capitalisation.

Such efforts would be especially appreciated on the group to
which I referred the OP.

I will sometimes skip posts when I'm busy for any number of reasons.
One of those is that the post more difficult to read than the next,
which supports the basic tenet I put forward.

Is it perhaps the second grade (in USA) where one learns about
sentences? One reason given is to make the text
easier to read and UNDERSTAND. Many people will deny that
proper structure is better, it is likely that they feel
it would speak negatively to their machismo. They are likely
to say that they are 'keepin it real mothe* fuc*er.' But
in reality they are ashamed of their skill level in polite
society.

In the main, I skip past posts by people who can not be bothered to
properly capitalize and spell their posts. You are free to disagree,
but I know that I, among others, pretty much ignore such posts.

readability.

Looking at your post, I assure you that it does offer a loss in
readability. Not a crippling loss, as I did respond, but quite
noticeable.
i had no trouble reading the posting and i've never been
critcized for my lack of caseness in my writings. surely, to complain
about lack of case in emails or postings is akin to insisting on

Perhaps. Note, though, that an IM is a quite ephemeral thing, read only
by your intended target. Newsgroup posts tend to stick around, and are
read by a wide variety of people, sometimes quite some time after
posting.

Yes, capitalization and spelling are important, but not critical.

I've noticed over the years that if I go back and check spelling etc, I often
(too often I am afraid) come across things I did not say quite accurately that
I then have a chance of clarifying and/or repairing.

So, it is a matter of quality. If you keep to the point (i.e. read what the
particular newsgroup is all about), and try to keep some manners, and further,
keep selling/body enlargement/advertising/spam/personal attacks/sex/lazyness
(= do my homework) out of your posts, you should be fairly successful.

Good luck!

I agree. It has become very common to show stupidity and be proud of it.
Unfortunately.
